>Description:
Current rc.firewall file allows a filename to be specified rather
than the 'built-in' types. The specified file is passed to the
$IPFS command. This does not allow simple shell substitutions in the
file and precludes pasting old modified rc.firewall contents in such
a file.
>How-To-Repeat:
Examine /etc/rc.firewall.
>Fix:
Execute the file, rather than running $fwcmd ${firewall_type}. This
would allow any operation, not just filtering rules to the firewall,
and would be compatible with the rest of the rc.firewall file.
